He said that fines were not enough in case of serious accidents and proactive measures were needed to control them. He said that due to the implementation of new axle load regime, production cost for industry has increased and desired that government should reconsider it. He assured that ICCI would cooperate with Motorway Police in its endeavours aimed at improving traffic system.

Speaking at the occasion, Jamil Hashmi, AIG, Motorway Police said that driving license was issued on merit and no influence was taken into consideration in this regard. He said that number of motorcyclists has increased in the cities, but they were ignoring safety requirements, which was not a healthy trend. He said that only fines were not enough for underage drivers and there was a need to change law to make parents responsible for this unhealthy rising trend.
